<div dir="ltr">maybe you can find a place on the wiki to add your tutorial to install osmodules for iis and then add the link to the page in <a href="http://opensimulator.org/wiki/User_Documentation#Platform_specific">http://opensimulator.org/wiki/User_Documentation#Platform_specific</a><br>

Okay so after a lot of annoying bugs and frustration, I finally got search, profiles, and offline messaging working. Thanks to Guy for giving me that last push I needed to revisit it.<br>
<br>
For those who are having trouble with the profiles, search, and offline messaging and are running on windows I recommend the following steps as it worked for me.<br>
<br>
1. Install IIS (you can either install the IIS 7.5 express from Microsoft or activate IIS 6.0 through your control panel by going to the control panel and under programs turn on or off new features. In the features manager check the boxes for IIS and click ok.)<br>
<br>
2. Through the web installer from Microsoft you'll want to install php 5.3.19 (sorry I am not to sure yet why profiles, search, and offline messaging hates php 5.4.x. I'll try and play around with this when I get some time and through the list of projects I have waiting for me to implement.)<br>
<br>
3. Go to your IIS Manager by clicking on start and typing in IIS Manager to find the manager.<br>
<br>
4. In the IIS manager you might need to scroll down to find the php manager. Open the manager.<br>
<br>
5. In the php manager you might get an incompatibility highlighted in yellow. No need to panic this is normal. Click the recommended link next to this message and it will go away.<br>
<br>
6. Click the php.ini link and edit the php.ini file and turn on asp_tags and short_open_tags. Then click save.<br>
<br>
7. Click the phpinfo link to verify that you have configured everything correctly. No need to worry about the php_curl or php_xmlrpc as these are on by default. (they were for me).<br>
<br>
8. Minimize your IIS manager now.<br>
<br>
9. Copy the web root folders for search and profiles to your IIS wwwroot folder. You can find this directory in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\<br>
<br>
10. In my case I named the search, profile, and offline messaging directory folders search, profiles, and messaging. I also changed the xmlrpc groups web root directory to groups.<br>
<br>
11. Make sure to configure your database info and your ini files accordingly in your opensim server.<br>
<br>
12. Restart or launch your opensim instance.<br>
<br>
13. Log in using your viewer of choice and test. Everything should work quite well.<br>
<br>
I am sorry to see these modules not working well with the current php versions in wamp and xampp servers. Someone will need to revisit that and figure out how to actually make these compatible with any php-xmlrpc version.<br>
<br>
Thanks to Guy who gave me that bit of encouragement I needed and to Fleep/ Chris for posting his steps on his wiki. Once I saw on Fleep's wiki that he had it working with IIS it got me thinking there might be a problem on windows with wamp and xampp server php-xmlrpc instances.<br>
<br>
My next project is the economy modules for our grid and then addressing the issue relating to bigger region sizes. Now that the developers of Firestorm are implementing the var regions, it is time I think to re address this. I will let everyone know how this project turns out once I get to it in a day or two. Currency comes first.<br>
